#12 Georgia Bulldogs Survives the Tennessee Volunteers 35-32
The Bulldogs survived a huge scare against Tennessee. They were led by their running back Todd Gurley. The Heisman hopeful ran the ball 28 times though the course of the game, totaling for 208 yards and two touchdowns. It was a good thing he produced, because quarterback Hutson Mason struggled. He went 16 for 25 with 147 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
Late in the game, Marquez North caught a touchdown pass from Justin Worley. That allowed the Volunteers to cut the lead, however, there was not enough time for them to come back and win the game. The real mistake came on a fumble with 4 minutes and 27 seconds left that resulted in a touchdown for Georgia.
Worley was solid, he passed for 264 yards and three touchdowns. His biggest attribution was his accuracy. He did not throw and interception throughout the game.
"It's cool to look at those plays," Gurley said. "But I like to look at the stuff that I didn't do right. I had several plays that maybe could've been touchdowns. I need to get better on that."
Tennessee has now lost 21 straight games against ranked teams.
